Well this one rambles through your impressions of a lot of books, which is always a good thing. The other one (if I recall correctly) seemed more anti 'happy' ending, so it was a much different approach.
Grisham's world seems so superficial and materialistic to me, I never could really enjoy any of his characters. I genuinely liked spending time w/the professor dude in 'DaVinci Code', and I had thought Tom Hanks would be great in the role, but some how he had left all his personal charm somewhere else... that movie really didn't work for me! Of course there are tons of better books, these are ones I read at the beach when I'd run out of reading material and would pick up anything I could find (like my reading James Mitchner in India where I had trouble finding anything in English). Anyway I know what you mean about reading Gartland at your Grandparent's, there are just some times when you'll read ANYTHING! LOL
